Lightning-Link (R) Rapid Cy3 Antibody Labeling Kit

Lightning-Link Rapid is an innovative technology that enables direct labeling of proteins, peptides or other biomolecules for use in R&D applications, drug discovery and the development of diagnostic kits (See protocol for further information.

The easy-to-use, one step procedure allows researchers to covalently label biomolecules with only 30 seconds hands-on time; furthermore conjugates are ready to use in less than twenty minutes.

The researcher simply pipettes the biomolecule into a vial of lyophilized mixture containing the label of interest and incubates (for more details please watch the video below).

Cyanine Dye 3 (Cy3) has a strong absorption peak at 552nm. The maximum emission peak is at 576nm, with an excitation coefficient of 1.5 x105 cm-1 M-1. Cy3 can be used as an alternative to Alexa Fluor 555, DY-550, Rhodamine Red-X and TAMRA [5(6)-Carboxytetramethylrhodamine].

Cyanine dyes are bright and stable fluorescent dyes
